Ep. 032 – What Is a Value Proposition? – Business Model Canvas Part 2

Good morning! This morning on the Success in Business Podcast we pick up where we left off in Episode 27 with a question from Brian. What is Value Proposition? The concept of Value Proposition is simply the value that you propose to bring to your clients. If you are selling to businesses your value will fall into one of three categories. Your value may be that you:

1) help them make money,
2) help them save time,
3) or help them not get hurt.

If you are selling to consumers your value proposition categories widen and it may be that you:

1) help them make money,
2) help them save time,
3) help them not get hurt,
4) help them look good,
5) or, help them feel good.

Your Value Proposition is how you help your customers better than any other company can. Thanks for listening! Continue reading
